Sound the Sirens, Emergency Mayhem Now Shipping for the Wii

Codemasters today announced that Emergency Mayhem has shipped to U.S. retailers nationwide. Coming exclusively to the Wii, Emergency Mayhem puts players at the helm of three emergency services in a frantic race against time to hold together Crisis City, a mad metropolis that's falling apart at the seams.

Combining chaotic arcade driving with a huge range of mini-game challenges, players race against the clock in one of three emergency vehicles - a fire-truck, ambulance or police patrol car to reach different incident scenes.

Typically in Crisis City, incidents requiring attention are of a decidedly slapstick nature and Emergency Mayhem takes advantage of the Wii Remote in a huge variety of mini games that come into play once players reach an emergency scene. Pump the Wii Remote to practice CPR, point it to direct water from a powerful hose, mimic a wrench to bring bursting water-hydrants under control, or position a trampoline to save people leaping from burning buildings.

With an entire city to explore, three branches of the emergency services to control and over 30 types of emergency to deal with, players have a huge challenge to complete. Players can also share the mayhem with a fantastic multiplayer mode featuring mini-game challenges for up to four players. Compete in a tournament or battle against the clock in Survival mode as friends and family compete to be the best.

Get ready to bring some order to Crisis City with Emergency Mayhem, now shipping exclusively on Wii. For the latest movie and monkey-adorned wallpapers, visit www.codemasters.com/emergency.
